[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]QS World University Rankings is more respected and reliable than USNWR

2026 QS World University Rankings
#1 MIT
#5 Harvard
#88 Boston University
#334 Tufts
#384 Northeastern

This is a more accurate number to go by.[/quote]

except that nobody cares about it even those international students, but suit yourself.[/quote]

Actually it is the gold standard across the world, including the educated within the USA.[/quote]

No, the "THE" ranking has always been more respected globally than "QS".

That said, it weights research output quite heavily, more so than other outputs such as class size, graduation in 4 years, admission rate, student experience, strength of individual departments. So it favors a huge school like University of Toronto (which is known in Canada as "University of Tears" because of the poor student experience/weeding out) which has 50,000 undergrads in the downtown campus and classes of over 500 students.

It's a good ranking for some criteria and graduate research output, but not meaningful for most undergraduate teens making a college choice.
